Which server is right for me?

Answer a question or two and we'll point you at the right one, or compare them all side by side.

Everything we sell runs on hardware we own in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is billed the same way. What differs is how much of the machine is yours and where you manage it. Prices are on the products page.

Backups for VPS and dedicated servers are coming soon. Until then, keep your own. Game servers and bots have a Backups tab on the panel.

Who looks after what#

VPS and dedicated servers are unmanaged: the system and everything on it are yours to set up, update and keep safe. We look after the hardware, the network and the portal, and we'll help on a ticket or Discord when you get stuck. Start with Secure a new server.

On a game server or a Discord bot there's no system to look after: the panel does that, and you look after your world or your code.

Still stuck? Open a ticket and say which guide you followed.
